INDOOR DECORATIONS AND WOOD PRINTING

From large wood boards, canvas, art reproductions, wall décor, fine art and many other applications, the indoor decorations are probably the most requested products for the personalization printing industry, whether is for personal use or business related.

When it comes for printing, wood is a truly versatile material. One of the coolest features of wood photo printing is how the natural lines of the wood grain show through the lighter colors of a picture or photo. The primary reason for this is that no white ink is used in the printing process, so any white color is replaced with the natural color of the wood.

Wood frames come in different colors, sizes and shapes and even type of wooden material. You can print quality photos, logos and text not only on regular wooden boards, but directly onto different wood substrates, creating amazing indoor decorations or giveaways.

There is a wide variety of custom picture frames for your photos and artworks. Prints can be done on medium density fiberboard (MDF), an engineered dense, flat wooden product that has no knots. MDF is highly popular thanks to its affordability and versatility and is ideal for a range of applications, commonly used for indoor decorations.

PRINTING ON WOOD AND CANVAS WITH ARTISJET LED UV TECHNOLOGY

artisJet LED UV inks not only complement the natural look of the material, but also give the potential to build textured effects, giving canvases vivid dimension and a realistic finish that looks and feels like an oil painting! Overlays can also be added with spot LED UV varnish while printing on wooden boards to create photo frames. This printing process greatly enhances images of fine artwork and can add effects to photos, too.

With artisJet printers you have the ability to print on all these types of materials, achieving great results like a 3D raised printing effect.

Express your creativity by printing directly on stretched canvas and achieve high color density and quality results. Canvas prints bring a minimalist, modern element to any room and offer various material sizes and styles to choose from. Add vibrancy and style to any office or home by displaying your favorite artwork, designs or memories.

Printing on canvas is the preferred choice when going for a “painted” effect. Canvas prints enhance many decor styles with the contemporary gallery-wrapped edges. When it’s time for a wall decor update, canvas prints are a simple way to transform your walls. They add texture and a stylish visual aesthetic. Whether you select one or two large canvas prints, they’ll enrich the colors and furniture in any room.

Why stop at just one canvas print? A wall display package allows you combine elements to create your very own photo documentary. Create photo collages by printing one image onto multiple canvases, this way making a bigger final artwork for wall decoration. Play with frames, colours, styles and effects.

The LED UV curing is considered as the best available on the market today and its main characteristic is the instant drying ink while printing at the same time. The cooler cure of an LED system also opens up new print applications on temperature sensitive and thin substrates.

As less heat is dissipated from a LED lamp, it is easier to keep the media flat under the shuttle, so printing on wax is easier because the printer is not melting the substrate. Less operating heat also prevents material distortion, making it easier to rewind and re-register colors. And because of the uniformity and long-term consistency of LED lights, designers can develop safer, more stable and more reliable processes for low-migration printing.

The light sources deliver high uniformity and consistency over time, giving the end user confidence in the quality of the process. Now that UV LED curing has gained worldwide acceptance, more and more users are recognizing the real-world benefits.

Understanding the artis BR U1800 print and software

How to print on bottles? Are you ready to get started? Follow these easy to use steps to begin.

artis BR U1800 gives you unlimited substrate color choices so you don’t have to settle for only printing on white or light colored cylindrical objects. Simply select the desired artwork size and preferred color settings, load your product into the rotary fixture and you’re ready to print.

The first step is the adjustment of the rotary attachment (1). Put the media on the rollers and ensure the line at the highest point of the media shall be distanced about 5 mm away from the back of center line of the ink pump. This is necessary to follow to avoid ink spray from the print head when printing on the arc of bottles. The next step is to drive installation of the software for bottle printing.

There are a few characteristics of software setting: The printing resolution is 1440*1440 dpi; Bottle print only refers to three print types: Color only, White & Color only, White & Color simultaneously; (INK: CMYK- Optional for color only; White: Optional for white only or White & Color simultaneously.)

White Mode: It decides the way of printing white ink as a background layer.

artisJet’s RIP software allows the setup of white ink based on the printing requirements. One of these requirements is to: print white inks according to the nature of the bottle’s substrate color (dark or light). The darker the substrate, the more white inks.

Another white ink setup capability is White (Simulate Spot Color): whenever there is color element, white inks will be printed, with the same volume. Add to this, the White Density allows you to adjust the volume of white inks, while the White Channel num can adjust the concentration of the white inks.

White and color relation: This can change print mode for white and color inks. White only: Optional for white only; Two layer: White+ Color print at on pass (color follows White); Two layer: White+ Color print at on pass (White follows Color).

White invaginate: This is capable of covering white edge. Choose “Big” to avoid white edge when printing white and color simultaneously. Make a difference in covering the whole white edge.

For a better understanding we want to show you two cases of printing:
1.White bottle for color only;
2.Transparent bottle for white& color simultaneously.

For first case steps:

a) Measure the circumference of body of bottle and height of artwork. Make the artwork size within the circumference (figure 2).
b) Input the artwork into Rip software and set up its size and location. Pay attention to: print direction and print location. The setup software should have the follow ticks: INK-CMYK; White Invaginate- Big; Feather- Auto.
c) Adjust the height of bottle according to print head (Attention: Adjust manually the height of bottle a little far away from the print head to ensure no collision.)
d) Start printing.

Case 2 (figure 3): same steps less the software setup. You have to choose: Ink- white; white mode- white (simulate spot color); white channel rum-4; white & color relation- two layer, base white.

It’s time to bring your personalized products to life by using amazing, high quality, full vivid colors direct-to-substrate printing with artisJet and its bottle printing attachment of artis BR U1800, 360 degrees printing on a wide range of substrates, user-friendly print settings and functions via artisRIP v 9.0 software.

There is a wide variety of specialty printing techniques available for consumers who are interested in setting their printed products apart from the ordinary masses. And that’s the case of Spot LED UV Varnish, a versatile, affordable and high impact printing effect.

UV VARNISH AND SPOT LED UV VARNISH

Is UV Varnish the same thing as Spot LED UV Varnish, or is it something else altogether?
While many people use the word varnish as a catch-all concept, you must know there are varnishes (clear inks), aqueous coatings (water-based), and UV coatings.
UV Varnish is nearly instantly cured by UV light, but usually it fully covers the substrate, acting as a protective layer.

Spot LED UV Varnish is a clear ink that implies partial coverage on the chosen spots or area of the printed surface. With the Spot LED UV varnishing, the LED UV inks will highlight specific texts or images, logos, and anything else you want to drag the attention to.

APPLICATIONS OF DIRECT VARNISH PRINTING

The glossy varnish offers a smooth, shiny and glossy surface of the printed substrate.

A glossy varnish increases the saturation and depth of colors while improving image contrast and adding anti-scratch features.

Moreover, it provides excellent protective quality as well as a raised touchable effect as the 3D embossed effect and Braille tactile effect, often used in direct to signage printing.

A matte varnish is the most popular finish used for printing different products such as wood frames, wood packaging and many more.
